Bruce Daisley biography
Future of work speaker Bruce Daisley is one of the world’s most respected authorities on workplace culture, widely regarded as the biggest name in the field. He built that reputation the hard way, running some of the most admired teams in the technology industry before turning his obsession with how we work into a bestselling body of research and writing. LinkedIn has named him one of the top ten voices in the world on the future of work, and few people combine his real-world leadership experience with his depth of insight into what actually makes teams thrive.
Daisley spent more than a decade as a senior technology leader in Europe, running YouTube in the UK for Google before leading Twitter across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, where he left as the company’s most senior executive outside the United States. Under his leadership, Twitter’s UK operation became celebrated as one of the most respected workplace cultures in the industry. That firsthand experience of building, and studying, high-performing teams is what makes his advice so credible: he has not just researched great culture, he has led billion-dollar teams and created it.
The Joy of Work
Daisley is a two-time Sunday Times bestselling author. His first book, The Joy of Work, was the UK’s number-one business bestseller and has been translated into more than sixteen languages, while his second, Fortitude, was named the Financial Times Business Book of the Year. He hosts the chart-topping podcast Eat Sleep Work Repeat, downloaded more than six million times, writes the widely read Make Work Better newsletter, and is an Honorary Visiting Professor at Bayes Business School as well as a regular teacher at London Business School.
As a speaker, Bruce Daisley is engaging, evidence-based, and refreshingly practical, translating the science of workplace psychology into simple, actionable changes any team can make. He speaks on building a great workplace culture, the future of work and leadership in the hybrid and AI era, resilience and wellbeing, and how to bring energy, connection, and joy back to how we work. Audiences leave entertained, informed, and armed with concrete ideas to make work better, for themselves and for the people they lead.

Bruce Daisley Keynote Topics
Based on his #1 bestseller, Bruce Daisley shares the science, and the simple, practical fixes, behind creating a workplace where people are happier, more connected, and more productive. Drawing on interviews with neuroscientists, psychologists, and workplace experts, he reveals what really drives engagement and energy at work, and the small, evidence-based changes any team can make to transform its culture. Entertaining, surprising, and immediately actionable, it is his signature keynote on bringing the joy back to work.
The way we work has changed more in the last few years than in the previous few decades, and it is changing again with AI. Drawing on his experience leading teams at Twitter and YouTube, Bruce Daisley helps leaders navigate hybrid and remote work, build connection and identity when teams are dispersed, and understand why, in an age of AI, culture may be the last real competitive advantage. A timely, grounded keynote for leaders shaping the workplace of the future.
Based on his Financial Times Business Book of the Year, this keynote challenges the myths around resilience and reveals what actually builds inner strength, in individuals and teams. Daisley draws on the latest science to show that resilience is less about individual grit than most people think, and more about connection, belonging, and community. He gives audiences practical, evidence-based ways to build genuine resilience and wellbeing at work. A powerful, myth-busting talk for a demanding age.
As AI levels the playing field on productivity and efficiency, what will actually set organizations apart? Bruce Daisley argues the answer is culture, the human layer that technology cannot replicate. In this forward-looking keynote, he explains how leaders should think about culture in the age of AI, how to build one that is genuinely differentiated, and why the companies that win will be those that get the human side right. A sharp, strategic talk for senior leaders.
